Winter protection for pots. A question most people ask is what do they do with their pots in winter. If you have terracotta pots you need to make sure they are frost proof. Frost proof means that the clay used has been fired at a higher temperature and won't crack or freeze. Tender plants will need winter protection and some may need to be brought into a warm place but other plants are quite happy outside in pots as long as they are sheltered out of strong winds and frost. Cover with horticultural fleece for protection.

This aging pool pavilion was given new life and is now the focal point for this traditional Fairhope home.

A quaint garden shed in the backyard provides this family with a place to store tools and plants.
